Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1594]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Haliburton Energy 
Services, Inc. (Barite Milling), Corpus Christi, Texas

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
    Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ``...the 
establishment...

[[Page 80364]]

of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the United States, to 
expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for other purposes,'' and 
authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant qualified 
corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade zones in or 
adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 122, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish a special-purpose subzone at the barite milling facility of 
Haliburton Energy Services, Inc., located in Corpus Christi, Texas (FTZ 
Docket 20-2008, filed 04/01/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 20246, 04/15/08); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds the requirements of the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to barite milling at the facility of 
Haliburton Energy Services, Inc., located in Corpus Christi, Texas 
(Subzone 122R), as described in the application and Federal Register 
notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Section 400.28.
    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 19th day of December 2008.

David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
